Free Traffic Legal Advice

Good evening all....

Back again to seek help from coughing up £80 for a PCN that came in the post.

This time it's for entering a road with restrictions. I believe this restriction sign is relatively new in place, definitely post Aug 2025 anyway. The person driving the car at the time drives for a living so recalling the reasons as to why they missed the signs are a bit hazy and frankly, I'm pretty sure Camden Council wouldn't give 2 hoots as to why the driver missed the signs anyway. I'm just wondering if the size and placement of the warning signs are adequate.

Doing a quick search shows this is an 18 month Healthy Schools Street trial, I have downloaded the extremely long public notice.

Google maps last view date is in 2025 without any restrictions.

Approaching eastbound on E Heath Road before the right hand turn into Holford Road is a warning sign on the left hand side of the road, quite small in my opinion and the printed time restrictions are only readable if you were to actually park in the road and get out to read them. Past that, once you veer right into Holford Road, is another warning sign same size as the one before the right hand turn. Proceeding down Holford Road where the bend is, is the actual restriction sign. There is only one on the left hand side of the road, none on the right hand side. Do they not need to have one either side of the road? I have since visited the area to check the signage and to take pictures but was outside the restriction times so the detail on the plate is not visible. I've screenshot a photo taken from Camden Councils web page instead.

I was also wondering if the PCN itself meets all it's legal requirements, does it not need to show a contravention code?

Any advice as always from this forum is extremely appreciated especially as the driver earns a pittance as it is and can well do without £80 disappearing down the proverbial.


Many, many thanks to all.

Post the video. I can't as you've blanked the details.

Hi stamfordman, sorry if I've not done something right but could you tell me which video it is that you want me to post? Are you talking about the video footage evidence that is on the Camden council web page?

Re blanking details - which details is it you need to see as I've only blanked out the vehicle registration and address from the PCN plus the vehicle registration in the photo. If your referring to the restriction time plate, when I went back to the 'scene of the crime' it was outside restriction hours so the sign was closed/blanked over.

Please let me know and many thanks for your time...
